A Cousin's Challenge
It never ceases to amaze me how a simple act can throw one's heart into a dervish. Yet, I am learning the real affect comes from one's reaction. This happened to me today, as my heart went into a whirlwind and the rest of me spun away after it, I crashed. It landed me on my knees pouring my heart out to the Lord ... yet again. Through tears and prayers I felt hopeless and out of control. In times before this, two scenarios would commonly take place, RUN or WALLOW. Or on a rare occasion both. And chocolate would probably be involved. However, today the Lord pushed my heart to pursue. Pursue Him, pursue relationship, pursue accountability. Instead of holding in I reached out and it helped. Through His word and the words of friends I came out of the storm seeing His faithfulness. I tell you this not our of boasting of myself but as a testimony of His amazing love and faithfulness. The challenge He has given my heart is a the simple pursuit of Him. The bonus package is the gifts that come with it ... relationship, hope, love, and so much more.
